Our Logo

Our logo represents our worker bee ethos. It represents us as an organization, the amazing people who work in our community, and the members who support us. It is also a reflection of our purpose and professionalism. It is important that it is always used the right way, so that people are able to identify us at a glance.

Primary Logo

This is our primary logo and should always be used where possible.

eBPF Foundation Logo Variations

In the instance where the full-color logo can not be used, there are two variations available.

The logo should be displayed in white when used against a dark background.

The dark logo should be used in print where color or white variations are not usable.

In the instance where the full logo can not be used, eBee can also be used by itself in either color, black, or white as suited.

Fine Print

In general

Please don’t use our name, logos, or screenshots (“brand materials”) in ways that may be confusing, misleading, or suggest our sponsorship, endorsement, or affiliation. And please don’t edit or change eBPF Foundation logo — we like it how it is!

Advertising, promotional, and sales materials

Please check in with us before using our logo on websites, products, packaging, manuals, or for other commercial or product use. It’s ok to say in text “Member of eBPF Foundation” (as long as it’s true!).

You can use our brand materials for educational and instructional purposes, but please remember that it shouldn’t be confusing or misleading, or suggest our sponsorship. We generally don’t allow use of our logos or screenshots on book covers, for example.

Also remember to include this statement (or something like it) in your printed materials: “(Title) is not affiliated with or otherwise sponsored by eBPF Foundation”

Products, websites, names, and logos

Please don’t use our name as a part of your company or service name, website name, trade name, or product name. Don’t use our logo or incorporate our logo into yours. Don’t use a domain name containing “ebpffoundation” or any confusingly similar words.
